Will Any Card Reader Work With Shopify?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 4:22 pm

As the world increasingly moves towards a cashless society, more and more businesses are looking for ways to accept card payments. Shopify is one of the most popular ecommerce platforms, and it offers a range of card readers that businesses can use to take payments.

But what if you already have a card reader that you’re happy with Can you use it with Shopify, or do you need to buy a new one

The short answer is that any card reader that supports the major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, etc.) will work with Shopify. This includes both the physical card readers that you plug into your phone or tablet, and the virtual terminals that you can use on your computer.

PRO TIP: If you are using a Shopify POS system, it is important to note that not all card readers will work with the system. While many of the popular brands (such as Square and Shopify) are compatible, there are some less popular brands that may not be. If you are unsure whether or not your card reader will work with Shopify, it is best to contact the customer service team for clarification.

If you’re not sure whether your card reader supports all of the major cards, the best thing to do is check with the manufacturer. Most will list the supported cards on their website or in the product documentation.

Once you’ve confirmed that your card reader supports all of the major cards, using it with Shopify is easy. Just follow the instructions for connecting your reader to Shopify, and you’ll be able to start taking payments in no time.

So if you’re thinking about using Shopify but you’re not sure whether your existing card reader will work, don’t worry – any reader that supports the major credit and debit cards will do just fine.
